Jonny-Jimbo Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 A full pint would be good.I'd consider a flat cap as long as it was obviously a RBRR item.Maybe 'Round Britain Reliability Run 1966 - 2016' sun strips for the cars? Maybe little plaques for the cars too etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 RBRR Beer? 'Petrol, mineral and tears' or something. I'm sure a catchy name could be thought of. I'd suggest maybe some of the Coventry breweries should get a go at it being as the cars are from Coventry originally... https://www.byattsbrewery.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedTaylor Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Please can we have decent embroidered merchandise this time even if it costs a bit more.Quilted body warmer which are nicer to drive in than full jackets.MUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mole42 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Flat cap's a grand idea, don't bother with those bl**dy baseball caps that everyone wears.I like the sunstrip idea - the CLUB TRIUMPH one could be made a little more specific for the 2016 RBRR.A necktie would be good as well, with reference to the 2016 RBRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Thermos flasks?Maybe RBRR branded headache pills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Not more sun visor strips please, it's hard enough to get members to display the current ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shed 1969 Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 how about one of those Thermal mug thingys and a demountable "classic car " friendly cup holder ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yep like the thermal mug idea, with "CT RBRR 50th Anniversary" printed on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Will entrants get first dibs on this stuff? Same with the RBRR book too - I'd love to have one to add to my collection when they're published and would hate to miss out. Maybe include a list of teams from the first RBRR and the 50th anniversary of it too, even if it's just a list of names, the car they use and their location? That way the book will be personal to all the people that take part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve28 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I liked the 2012 T shirt with the motorway destination/ mileage sign on the back, perhaps do a 60's style sign.could they put a list of all the cars, model, reg ,colour etc that have done the RBRR in the book, it would be interesting to know how many still survive.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Agreed - I liked the 2012 t-shirt (the only one I have actually) and really liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedTaylor Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Quoted from Wilfrid Not more sun visor strips please, it's hard enough to get members to display the current ones! What about a sunstrip type thing 18" wide and 2 - 3 inches deep, and use blue with yellow letters? Can be used on the front usefully covering the gap between the visors, or on the back window bottom or top.I like to show my allegiance to CT but find the present ones a bit much - reminiscent of the 'Kevin and Sharon' things that were popular in the 1980s and I hated .......MUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Wilson Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 thermal mug would be useful, sunstrip is not much good for the Moss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 How about 50th anniversary Benzedrine inhalers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedTaylor Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Quoted from thescrapman How about 50th anniversary Benzedrine inhalers? Wakey Wakey ...........

Jonny-Jimbo Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 "He still felt perfectly fresh and the elation and clarity of mind produced by the Benzedrine were still with him" - sounds ideal for RBRR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve28 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 An RBRR board game would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 There was a board game called 'Race Around Britain' - if anyone can find a set it would be a good basis for it. Had questions and trivia about the places. Would be very good. Might sell well outside of the club if made to be 'accessible'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raider Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 If there is RBRR commemorative clothing etc for crews could that be made available to marshals too please.Yes I am being selfish here but Phil Charlton did a great job at Carter Bar last time by all accounts so it would be good if us marshals got a chance too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Yes Steve, that's the one - was a half decent game. Although, that was in the early 90's when I was about 6 or 7... But as a principle of how the game could work, I think it could be a good basis for RBRR.Not sure how much it would cost to get a custom board game made up for around 100 sets or so... a lot would be my guess.

I wonder if there would be much interest in RBRR top trumps card game, might not be as expensive to produce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 How would that work though? Check points, with points based on arrival time etc? Or the different models of car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
